Access To Medicine In The Context Of Patent Monopoly
(National Law School of India University, 2018) Nanditha, Kalidoss Naga
In the light of growing concerns regarding access to medicines and the distress about the financial sustainability of the health care system in India, a robust drug policy is inevitable for availability, affordability and accessibility of drugs to people. While an increment in the financial spending on public health is the need of the hour, India needs drug procurement models at state level with strong regulatory system in place in order to monitor the checks and balances on the pharmaceutical companies. On the other hand, India has had tryst with the patent regime and the unaffordable medicine prices giving in to the pressure of the developed countries but today, the epidemic diseases in the country have turned out to be a huge economic burden on the country. It becomes imperative that India makes use of the flexibilities under TRIPS Agreement and grant Compulsory Licenses to the patented drugs thus, breaking the monopoly in the market. The study examines the issues of accessibility to medicines to identify the strength and gaps in policies and develop future strategies for policy framework that would enable an advanced health care ecosystem.

(National Law School of India University, 2018) Maggu, Aastha

Ensuring that women become a part of the policy process at all levels will result in increasing their safety in the cities. The urban spaces have to be made safer for women by adopting an inclusive urban policy framework. Through the course of this research, gender mainstreaming has been identified as a viable policy strategy to drive the urban policy framework.

Addressing The Housing Needs Of Migrant Informal Workers And The Mapping Of Policy Landscape
(National Law School of India University, 2018) Arora, Kabir
The dissertation is focused on understanding the existing housing (and living) arrangement of migrant workers in the city of Bengaluru. The participants in the research project were primarily – Assamese and Bengali Muslims, who are engaged in the business of waste-picking. With the understanding of existing arrangements and systems to support each other in the community living, the policies related to the migration and housing (and urban living) are reviewed. In the end, the conclusion is drawn that given policy frameworks fall short in understanding the informal housing arrangement and are not very helpful to better the conditions. There are possible measures suggested to address the immediate concerns of migrant workers living in the periphery of the cities like Bengaluru.
Adolescent Girls In Urban Slums An Enquiry Into Their Safety And Security Concerns
(National Law School of India University, 2020) Praveen, Rajasree
In the contemporary world of rapid urbanisation, urban slums emerge as a new social dynamic system with a plethora of law and order challenges. Adolescent girls in urban slums are one of the most vulnerable sections of the society subject to an array of safety and security concerns. Through the literature review it has been found that the western theories of abuse does not hold ground in the Indian context and this research attempted to study the safety and security concerns of adolescent girls in urban slums in a micro context within the Rajendranagar slum of Bangalore and strengthen the base for a theoretical framework within the Indian context. The qualitative nature of the research along with the sensitive nature of data required the method of snowball sampling. Rajendranagar Slum was a Pandora’s Box of human rights violations and the state of the adolescent girls were truly disheartening. One of the important findings of the study was the existence of a tendency among the people in the slum to move to the exteriors of the slum from the interior regions. . The people resorted mostly resorted to the instrument of marriage where the girls from the interiors of the slum would be married off to the men from the exterior regions. There was a silent hierarchy that existed within the layers of slum with the dignity and quality of life decreasing deeper into the interiors of the slum. This research follows the basic assumption that security is the sanctuary from intentional threats while safety is a more relative term and is understood as the control of identified threats to secure a permissible amount of risk (Sehwal 2016). Problematic Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM), Physical and sexual abuse and child marriage were the major threats identified and Sexual abuse of adolescent girls was found to be the most rampant and serious violation that is studied in detail. The study has formulated a Multifactorial theory of Abuse which is based on Maslow’s theory of motivation. The theory helps to explain the peculiarity of abuse in the urban slum context and highlights the need for a specific policy framework to address the issue. The study then compares case studies of a married and unmarried adolescent girl in the slum to prove that child marriage is not a safety valve to prevent child abuse and it is only contortion of the form of abuse.

Agricultural Produce Markets in the Tribal Hinterland of Mandla District in Madhya Pradesh
(National Law School of India University, 2020) Singh, Shipra
Agriculture markets are old and complex in structures existing across many parts of the India. The locality of such markets has formed a dense site for economic, political and social activity connecting towns and local agricultural markets to much bigger hub of commerce and consumption. These agricultural markets as the ‘first crucial transaction’ between the producer and the buyer that has been widely portrayed as oligopolistic, entrenched, with a wide gap between what the farmers get paid for their produce and the prices at which the consumers buy. The APMC markets and LAMPS Cooperative as a marketplace were introduced to protect the farmers from the whims of traders who routinely exploited through unfair prices and terms. There has been increasing demands for dismantling of the mandi system and strengthening of cooperatives in the tribal context and as a key to liberalisation. Drawing on a fieldwork conducted in 2019 in Mandla district of Madhya Pradesh, this thesis centres on everyday life of a tribal, medium of livelihood, and relationship with the agricultural markets in the central Indian state. It discovers the complex and dynamic natures of marketplace relation to the production structure. Furthermore, it shows the culture of tribal and their closeness with the nature, regional context with the choices and constraints of small and marginal farmers, and processes of reform. This thesis is an attempt to form an integrated view of agricultural markets. Part One of the analysis follows the Krishi Upaj Mandi of Mandla District as a major state led intervention, which is set up in the local context of the tribal area and agricultural production, producing a variety of effects on the mandi due to the spatial variations, range of intermediaries, structures, social relation among the mandi actors and the domestic policies that are experienced in the market yard. Part Two dives into the regional context of the commodity markets for paddy, one of the major produced crops in Madhya Pradesh. The analysis traces the livelihood options available with the tribal, land condition, credit availability and farmers’ preferred market. It deals with bigger and more complex problems of the tribal society that highlights the lack of empirical evidence in the formation of policies ignoring the range of social, cultural and rural factors. It raises serious questions to local actors and importantly to more distant policymakers.

Analysing Electoral System in India vis-à-vis Representation of Scheduled Castes: A Study of Devanahalli and Mahadevapura Assembly Constituencies in Karnataka.
(National Law School of India University, 2019) L. N., Bhaskar Simha
In any democracies, electoral systems are the means through which political representation can be achieved. It is imperative that an electoral system is designed in a way that true will of the people translates into legislature and by true will I mean the true representatives who by votes are authorised to represent the interests of the people. India is home for numerous diversities of caste, race, religion language and cultural aspects. The true essence of democracy can only be realised when we can say those diversities are reflected in the legislature, policies and practices of the nations. This paper carries out a qualitative analysis to understand the merits and demerits of the electoral system of India, First Past the Post, while juxtaposing the design of the electoral system through the question of representation of the Scheduled Castes in India who have been historically subjected caste based oppression and boycott from social life.

Analysing the Trends in India’s Higher Education and Vocational Courses
(National Law School of India University, 2018) Gupte, Aishwarya Tushar
Education has been a prime area of development in India since the dawn of independence. It is a known fact that we are experiencing a rapid expansion and diversification in India’s Higher education and Vocational training discourse. India is emerging an extensive knowledge hub, with the amalgamation of various Government, Private and International players in the path of providing education as a service to the population in India. However, India’s Higher education is grappled with several Policy failures and skewed Trends reinforcing the transmission of disadvantage from one generation to another and constraining the country’s economic growth and development as the complete potential of India’s human capital is yet to be realised. These trends can be pertaining to educational status, enrolment, expenditure, inclusion, discontinuance, etc. Higher education is not universalised in India, unlike Primary education. The current Gross Enrolment Ratio is 25.2 per cent and to reach the stage of universalisation, which has been achieved by several developed countries, we need a strong management and self-checking mechanism in the educational system. The mechanism needs to be such, where the providers of education and the Administration of the country come at par in the provision of education to maximum population of India. Acquisition of higher education can help anyone to overcome professional and personal disadvantages by facilitating lifelong career opportunities. The need for introspection in terms of what can be done to improve trends, standards and ensuring employability of our graduates come from analysing and rectifying the Policies and Trend behaviour at Higher education and Skill training stage.

The Anatomy Of Privacy In The Cyber World: A Comparative Analysis Of Privacy Laws And Health Data Privacy In The Eu, The USA And India.
(National Law School of India University, 2017) U. V., Vijeth Acharya
Privacy is recognised as fundamental civil liberty worldwide. Though the articulation of ‘Right to Privacy’ is found strongly in the West, India too, with growing awareness about privacy and its importance, is working towards the privacy protection. With computers, smart phones and internet becoming the tools of daily interaction, protection of privacy in the cyberspace takes prominent space. Healthcare facilities in a developing economy plays an important role. It is often observed that in a less developed economy, there exists a trade-off between healthcare facilities and privacy of an individual. Whereas in a developed economy, health information breach and theft of personal health information for financial gains is a growing criminal activity. This study tries to understand, how medical information privacy is different and important when compared to other personal information. This research studies the legislations in the United States, the European Union and India about privacy and data protection and compares the comprehensiveness of the laws with respect to the globally recognised best practices on privacy and data protection. The study also tries to understand the laxity in the Indian system when it comes to privacy and its protection. The study tries to understand this from the lens of culture, individual identity and judicial precedents. This research highlights the grey areas in the present Indian law which needs to be looked into when drafting a new privacy legislation
